I'm trying out this #formstr thing. What do you think?

It can cut through the wood, burn it to differing degrees, or just scratch off the oramge ink. It's just a matter of power and speed. Here's the finished product:

Support your local makerspace. Ours has a brand new laser cutter!

Life goal: grow so many indoor plants that there's measurably more CO2 outside than inside.
It's still Thursday, folks.

This dude took out maximum loans, bought #bitcoin with the money, didn't pay on the loans at all, and then sued the banks for not giving him his promisory note back. 🤣
Bold moves. Sure looks like it's paying off though!

stallone rewrote the script and:
"tried to buy back the (3.5 hr film) and burn the negative"

Very cool.
This problem just keeps getting weirder. I'm now thinking of it as a "computer problem" because I'm seeing this weird behavior in Tails and with a PCIe USB controller.

So maybe Qubes 4.2 was fine all along...
Just wanted to share my big girl who’s getting too large for my living room! https://www.allforgardening.com/760867/just-wanted-to-share-my-big-girl-whos-getting-too-large-for-my-living-room/

You have so manny plants! Beautiful.
But, Stallone co-wrote the original script...
That movie does such an amazing job of walking the line between "it's cool to shoot people and blow stuff up" and "military vets are treated like crap".
I think the main takeaway for many is:
❌ Join the military
✅ Shoot people who disrespect you
Now I'll have to watch it again and see how well I remember a movie I haven't seen in probably 15 or 20 years.
Update: I found https://webhosting.coop/ and while it doesn't look like they host Nextcloud instances now, there's a chance they might be able to be convinced to do so in the future.
Update 2:
I found a coop that will do this: mayfirst.coop
And one who will do this for non-commercial purposes: autistici.org
And if you're looking for just personal services, there's also 0xACAB.org

I feel like if anyone knows how to distribute an already federated cloud storage system, they'd probably be here on nostr.
And don't tell me that I get the job because I thought of this, because:
A. someone else thought of it first, and
B. I have too many other projects to also take this on right now. So if it's me, it's going to be a while...
If not that, then are there are self-hosters out there who have documented how to run Nextcloud in a cluster so any one server going down doesn't disrupt operations?
The closest things I could find were:
1. a database cluster (MariaDB), a shared filesystem (glusterfs, lvm?, cephfs?, zfs?), a couple proxies, a controller, and a ton of manual setup
or...
2. Some magical thing to "sync the database" (which sounds like a read-only mirror at best)
Is there a coop that hosts Nextcloud instances for other coops?

#kagi search rocks.
you get premium, ad-free, privacy, ai enhanced search, with bangs and lenses (ex: a "programming" or "recipes" lens can provide results only from sites you trust).
...and cool menu options in search results like, "summarize page," and "open in result in web archive." and lots, lots more.
and yes, you can pay with #lightning

A friend of .ine switched to them a few weeks ago and has been converted from a free trial to a paying customer.
Last week he remarked that one of the features he was really excited about with Kagi was the ability to downgrade the unhelpful sites (you know, yahoo answers, expert dot com and other junk like that) and promote sites that are helpful.
He found that, after hundreds of searches, he never really use that feature. He said Kagi just legotimately has better results and so he hasn't needed to use it.
It was a bittersweet realization in that he didn't use the feature he was **most** excited about and was what he was willing to **pay** for. On the other hand, he doesn't have the problem anymore, so it seems okay.
Would you keep paying for Google Ads if they didn't deliver any sales? If so, would you keep paying them as much or more than you are now?
I don't think it's such a crazy idea that people would find (or create) alternative if the vaule was not there.
It doesn't really matter, as it's unlikely that any ad blocker is going to become so widespread that it takes down Google's entire business model, especially when they control the majoritiy of the people's web browsers...
